Yellow Warbler by Sreedhara Alavattam
Vasona Lake (Los Gatos)
This fall, join us for a leisurely bird walk around the riparian woodlands, small lake, eucalyptus groves, and large manicured lawns of this urban Los Gatos park. Along with year-round residents such as Nuttall’s Woodpeckers, California Towhees, Chestnut-backed Chickadees and Oak Titmice, we’ll keep a special lookout for migrating Yellow Warblers, returning winter residents like Cedar Waxwings, and lingering summer residents such as Western Tanagers.
